Our second annual get together at Thel and Marshall's ranch near McGaffy was a great opportunity to see dad, siblings, and several members of the new generation. Some stayed in the bunk-house - (Jack is standing in the door of the bunkhouse) and the rest of us pitched tents in the adjacent meadow.Activities included board games (with competitive singles scrabble and team (dui) scrabble as the number one sport. I believe that the top winners were Liz, Chris, and Derrick.
Deb's daughter, Shannon, quickly formed an alliance with the horses. That was great until Shannon left and the little one year old filly (Sassy) spent the next 24 hours looking for her. She tried to come into the bunk house, stopped cars to look in the window, tried to taste anything on the picnic tables, and was a general nuisance. Everyone but Shannon's parents, seemed to agree that Sassy should have gone back to Tucson with her new found friend.
Since Jake, Em, and I were the last to arrive we stayed an extra day and then took a leisure drive home. We stopped the the Four Corners Monument and took the drive through the reservation up to Blanding. It took a little longer to get home but allowed us to see some pretty country.

This was a great time! It was so much fun watching the kids play together and catching up with Aunts, Uncles, Grandpa and of course cousins as we tried to corale the little ones. We look forward to next year!
